No original source of the oil found, however, OEPA did clean up where it was collecting upstream at a trash dam (other side of Waterloo rd).
What we are seeing here is the residual. Fire department placed the soft booms with our trash booms to collect that. (Some placement adjustment is in order and being handled). Sorry for the late update, flu had knocked me on my can.
Newest boom in place!
Pretty big source of trash there and we should be able to access it to cleanup with just a pair of muck boots. Thanks South Street Ministries for the interest and the assist! And thanks to Summit Metro Parks.
Sometimes ya just have to put it out there to help make it happen!
This is one of the MAJOR sources of trash coming into Summit Lake. I was out surveying outfalls from my kayak today. We already have two booms on the lake and with some collaboration, we should be deploying a few more on and around the lake soon. Did pull a bag of trash today.
We deployed two more booms on Summit Lake this morning and cleaned up around the dock by the Nature Center.
Has been a busy week but well worth it! Next project will be deploying a boom on the canal south of the lake…maybe this weekend!
New boom deployed in Norton on Wolf Creek!
This is a 5 minute video showing the process of building and installing a boom. We anticipate a pretty good volume of trash collected here and very grateful to Julie Miller and her husband for giving access to this location and the City of Norton who will be picking up our collected trash!
